Positive Messages: Grace Mynatt

Grace Mynatt will get my vote tomorrow in a small part because she supported the Interbasin Transfer in a very itneresting way. When she was speaking at the State hearing about this she took out a gallon jug and a cup that was about one ounce. What's interesting is that she was close (like three significant digits) to the percentage of water that will be drawn if the Interbasin Transfer is approved. Also, I couldn't help but remember Richard Feynman in the late 80s dipping an O-Ring into a cold container of water to explain to Congress what happened with the solid rocket boosters that caused the Challenger explosion.

Any time you can compare a candidate to local office to a Nobel Prize-winning physicist - that person is worth voting for.

Here's the e-mail she sent to gain support


GRACE MYNATT FOR CABARRUS COUNTY COMMISSIONER

Handling growth runs through all the decisions that need to be made in Cabarrus County. I will work toward even greater cooperation and planning among all the elected bodies in the county so that we work together, not in conflict with one another. Planning will result in wiser use of tax dollars, greater efficiency in delivering services, and a healthier, safer, more prosperous county for us all.
